Selection of compartments behavior

Connection routers

Vertical label

Scale support: zoom and the actual font to use changes size so it does not get pixelized.
Issue with Linux and MacOS to be debugged.

Shapes attached to the border

The main stream strategy consists of using BorderItemEditPart.
It is available at runtime in GMF-1.0 and at design time in GMF-2.0.
Please refer to the runtime documentation of GMF.

The solution used in the stp.bpmn modeler consisted of using a second compartment: the border-compartment.
This is the way it was originally developed early on and so we decided to keep it.
The issue is that it is quite some work to make the figures look as if the items dropped in the border-compartment
as if they were attached to the border of the main figure.
The advantage: popup assistant will show when mousing next to the border: the mouse is in fact over the border-compartment.
Also the layout in the compartment is well defined.

Mykola Peleshchyshyn developped that and might want to comment further.

Save the layout between collapse-expand of shapes.

Use EAnnotations on the View model.
The View are the object model for the GMF visual notation.
They are also EModelElement and hence support storing extra pieces of data.

Pool layout and setbound policies

Change the figures for the NotationPackage

BPMN Text does not follow the same look and feel than the one provided by default by the NotationPackage.
It is overridden in the EditPartFactory. Just need to look for a model that is an instance of a View.
